This is my personal interpretation of the video and audio evidence: Verses - Notably, in the LIVE videos John doesn’t change fingering for the lengthy A sequence in the verses. Then he clearly barres a Bm7 [minus the major interval] in the verses and then the following E7 can be heard. Choruses - The contention will be surrounding the choruses re D versus D7 and the Gmaj7 versus Bm. John clearly doesn’t barre a Bm, but fingers a lengthy Gmaj7. 2. The Lead Riffs have been crossed-checked with numerous sources, from ‘The Beatles - Complete Scores’ to online versions which includes UG’s Tab Pro version. http://plus.ultimate-guitar.com/t/the_beatles/ticket_to_ride_tab_online.html#7385d 3. “…I think the interesting thing was a crazy ending: instead of ending like the previous verse, we changed the tempo. We picked up one of the lines, 'My baby don't care', but completely altered the melody. We almost invented the idea of a new bit of a song on the fade-out with this song; it was something specially written for the fade-out, which was very effective but it was quite cheeky and we did a fast ending. It was quite radical at the time. - Paul McCartney, Many Years From Now, Barry Miles. …”
